Just wondering,

What do people think about this stuff being painted all around schools?

They have a wired phone in the class, so im sure they’ll always have a phone in case of an emergency. Plus kids won’t be texting (assuming it blocks phones) and doing other things, that require internet, in class.

Regardless of windows or not, im sure it’ll greatly reduce the amount of inactivity

What’cha think?

I’m with Brian. Cell phones would be an issue i think, unless, of course, you don’t want your employee’s to have cell phone service (which would be pertinent to defence companies [Boeing, Parker, Northrup Grundman, .ect])

The idea that a paint can be a solution is truly ridiculous, one chip, hole, space under a door and no more security.

These guys have the right idea, end-to-end security all the way back to the datacenter and no new equipment to buy. http://www.wirelesswall.com/

You’re right, windows/doors will provide some access to the wireless network, the key here is it’s going to extremely limit how much of that signal strength is getting out. Of course you should still be running some sort of security, but doubling up security with a physical blockade that can’t be beaten by the mentioned pieces of software.

I’d look for a wireless product from these guys: http://www.fortresstech.com seems to save the hassle of painting. Or do both… Painting and buying a device that offers good wireless security.

Wow, imagine the security you’d get if you painted your wifi router with this!

How many people are willing to paint their floors ? Of course, they can remove their parquets, ceramic tiles, wall-to-wall carpets, clean and paint the floor, and then refloor them. When Mobile Broadband and WiMax become more ubiquitous, they might be the only one wired….
